Let’s hear some *gratitude* for the amazing work of the NYPD and a “sharp-eyed MTA employee” and, yes, the FBI. It was a kindness from Hashem that this didn’t happen (and a warning from Hashem), but we must recognize and acknowledge that these investigators staved off a horrible tragedy.

Just keep in mind the only reason this is national news is because the two perpetrators are “white”. If they had been black our wonderful new governor wouldn’t have tweeted a word about it…

This crime is a direct result of on-line social media and Twitter threats, not moderated by anyone at Twitter. Elon Musk encourages hate threats by firing all the Twitter staff who were supposed to watch out for threats.
